The warm weather has slowed the fishing right down on my syndicate water so I’ve been visiting a local day-ticket water for a bit of evening surface fishing. It seems like a lifetime since I last got the mixers out and I’ve loved every minute of it. With soft rods, small reels and light line even the smallest of carp puts up a great fight.

Question: I fish with luncheon meat and want to try casting it a bit further. What’s the best way to keep it on the hair because it keeps flying off? Robert Taylor, Stoke-on-Trent Total Carp says: Luncheon meat is a very effective carp bait and an underused one too.
